The head coach at Miami needs to get one thing right straightaway: recruit the South Florida area like your job depends on it.
Because it does.
That does not necessarily mean sign just any player from Homestead up to Vero Beach (they won’t). That does not necessarily mean sign every five-star in the area, either (they can’t). What it means is walking into all the local high schools and making players from South Florida a priority again.
When Mark Richt came to town, he recognized the need to immediately build on relationships among high school coaches in his own backyard.
